Reviews of this property

In fact, we did not get the room we reserved. It was in the same street, opposite building. So for location, it was perfect, as expected: it is very pleasant in the evening to enjoy the nightlife of the area and be able to return quickly. By cons, we were in the apartment of the owners, 5 rooms for 1 bathroom (instead of 2 to 1 in that initially rented). No terrace, and a very cluttered kitchen, usually with dirty dishes in the sink, not top. For 50 € minimum benefit, sufficient if like us you are on the go all day, my breakfast and dinner included.

We had a very nice time at the guest house. The views were beautiful and the Bosphorous breeze refreshing, and in a fun location of the city. Our host was very friendly and helped us quickly when we needed it. We were fortunate to be the only guests in the place so it was nice and quiet. In the future if I bring friends for their first time to Istanbul I will look to stay here again.

The pictures show the condition of the apartment is not properly again. The apartment for eight people consists of two separate apartments. In an apartment there are two separate bedrooms for four people. In the other apartment the two bedrooms are separated with a double bed only through a break with no door. Thus, there is no privacy.
The apartments are located on the third floor. The terrace with the small kitchenette where you can not cook, is located on the fourth floor. One floor above the terrace with views over the Bosporus. Food so you need to always outside the apartment.
This is just enough to order the evening to drink a beer and to look at the sea.
The bathrooms smell like sewer, probably because the siphon are not installed properly.
We had a big problem with mosquitoes. My friend had at the end of the journey over 30 mosquito bites.
As we have already done frequently in Istanbul vacation, we know that there are better apartments.

I'll start with the positives are that the availability of Adem host it was very nice and helpful. Also the location of the apartment is very well located between Taksim and the ancient city of Istanbul, we were able to move on foot very easily which made the stay very pleasant. What is the down side is the apartment itself, the shower is too small and poorly laid out, there was no toilet paper or towels, we apply due to the host that has brought next. On both parts it is very small and poorly designed, too, with just two bed sheets too rough making it not just a good night. The fan was broken in half had to find the right position to place and be able to use. Also the cleanliness of the apartment I think they make no effort to clean up after each visitor so he had to clean up first in order to set. I think in terms of price and quality you can find better in Istanbul.

The district Gala tower is ideal for city travelers. We had the current circumstances to another room. Everything was well organized and we were welcomed warmly by the hosts. The room faced the courtyard. The view from the bed was about Gala Tower, Bosphorus and Golden Horn. Sensational. The mattresses were great. The location next to the great transport connections will and interest.

Apartment very well placed for sightseeing and in a quiet street. Welcome. By cons health problem with a leak and a clogged sink! Not much cooking. You have to eat outside which is not a concern in Istanbul!

Great location, right in the center but still quiet, great views from each of the rooms and the spectacular terrace, warm and helpful hosts (WG-feeling), uncomplicated. At full occupancy bathroom and toilet can be a bit tight, but clean. Open the ideal place for small.
